This unique series documented the crew at Boyd Coddington's car shop and their personal challenges in building hot rods and custom vehicles. Filmed on location at Coddington's hot rod and wheel shop in La Habra, California, many employees later joined Overhaulin's Chip Foose, a former partner of Coddington, seeking a more relaxed work environment. Custom-built cars featured during the series included the "Alumatub," 61 Impala Bubbletop, 63 Chevy Corvette Stingray, and a 42 Woodie. In July 2007, the shop created an Elvis Tribute Car, a modified 1957 pink Cadillac, sponsored by Reese’s. Boyd Coddington passed away in February 2008. His shop closed its doors for the last time on Friday, June 20, 2008.
